Frequently asked questions
What is Pilates Reformer?
Pilates Reformer is performed on a special machine that uses springs, ropes, and a sliding platform. It adds resistance and stability to the exercises, providing a complete workout for the entire body. Compared to floor Pilates, the Reformer allows for a wider range of movements and faster results in toning, posture, and mobility.
Is it suitable for beginners?
Yes, absolutely! Our classes are adapted to the level of each participant. The instructors will explain each exercise and guide you step by step, so that you feel comfortable from the very first session.
How can I make a reservation?
Reservations are made exclusively online, directly on the website, in the “Appointments” section. From there you can choose your desired time, instructor, and type of class. Reservations are not made by email or phone.
Who are the Reshape Studio Pilates instructors?
We work with certified and passionate instructors, who are basically physiotherapists and have up to 15 years of experience in Reformer and fitness training.
Each instructor ensures that the exercises are correct, effective and tailored to your needs.
How many times a week is it recommended to practice Pilates Reformer?
The recommendation is 2-3 times a week, but you can participate more often, depending on your schedule. Combined with a balanced diet, Pilates will do wonders for your body — you will feel stronger, more toned, and more harmonious.
How long will it take to see results?
Results appear differently for each person, but after about a month of regular practice, many clients tell us that they feel more toned, have better posture, and are more energetic. With consistency and a healthy diet, the transformations are visible and lasting.

Not necessary. All equipment is provided by the studio. You may bring a small towel and a bottle of water if you wish.
